WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT
OVERVIEW
The 2023 Destination Mountain Biking Forum brings together some of the leading minds in mountain bike destination design, construction, and management, from both commercial and public sector backgrounds. The forum includes keynotes, and indoor and outdoor workshops, led by true leaders in their fields. The forum focuses on collaborative learning and networking, with multiple audience-led panel discussions to facilitate collaborative discussion.
ON AND OFF BIKE ACTIVITIES
NETWORKING & RIDING
Beyond the presentations and workshops, the forum has a strong focus on networking. MBP’s hospitality team will provide an amazing spread of meals, including a forum dinner. Of course, we also encourage participants to get out and enjoy the world of trails on offer at Maydena Bike Park. Formal and informal riding sessions are included in the program, including guided rides.
